a way to control the middle east and help israel broke their code into wrong to come clean about its nuclear program. and a russian ultranationalists to escape from a psychiatric hospital has turned himself into a no we should all store shoes on these amazing to be allowed to stay in the country which is slap down and say that's a history of governance unresolved when he showed up at immigration offices of his now in custody being investigated by organized crime police and also for his connection to find a wintery from russia. that's how i'll go back to our washington studios for the second part of that the republicans have just rooney's manifesto and the only investigates why they want to repeal so many posts is then replace them with the identical ones that's coming your way in just. it's time for tonight's tool time award and it goes to the orange man himself house
11:32 pm
minority leader john boehner now we've given john a hard time before on this show for his orange tan but today we saw a quote in the wall street journal that just stunned us john boehner said quote i have never been in it's hanging bed or used a tanning product still at the present that is a huge revelation. i mean i just don't get how it can be he's just so orange i'm not sure i'm buying into what john is selling here do you remember back when congress voted on the health care reform bill several months ago and well banner was none too happy about it he took to the floor for a hell hath no fury speech. we actually don't have it but he was angry it all up in arms i think you'll remember
11:33 pm
but the point is why he was so upset is that inside the health care reform bill that passed there was a ten percent tax on tanning so if you really don't hand does that mean that you're naturally orange john i just don't get it you know we thought long and hard about what could describe his orange glow if the tanning bed in fact is not the culprit here so here are options maybe maybe he's been swimming in the gulf of mexico lately you know that b.p. oil in the water might have some odd effects on a person or maybe he's been working with aqua bounty on their efforts to get their frankenfish genetically modified salmon proof their product approved excuse me maybe they've been sending you one too many samples over the last ten years or maybe he's recently been on vacation at three mile island you know the lingering effects from that accident at the nuclear site probably could turn one orange those are just three possibilities and shirley might seem a little outlandish but nothing nothing sounds crazier than this man claiming that
11:34 pm
he's never in his life fake tant either way john boehner you are tonight's tool time winner. now for all the women out there what if i told you the you right now at this very moment are wearing a life saving device believe it or not your bra it isn't just used to keep you know the boobs in place anymore dr allain a body has designed the emergency bra which you can unsnap and take one cup off of to fit around your head like a little gas mask and the other cup then you know can be used for a friend a boyfriend a child anyone else who's in need dr bodner design actually won in noble award which is an annual tribute to inventions that seem really silly but are in fact practical just check out her demonstration at the awards last year. thank.
11:35 pm
god thank you i'm pretty sure paul krugman was just in the demonstration now in case you're wondering there's a butterfly valve hit in the liner which then makes it possible to breathe in clean air lawyer adorning your face with the specialty bras now bodner a native of ukraine used to study the effects of chernobyl and she says that that was the inspiration for this life saving bra she claims that it would have been useful instances like the september eleventh attacks and the unexpected dust storms that have recently hit australia oh and in case you guys are actually interested in buying one you can get one for yourself it's only about thirty bucks and surprisingly it's a fashionable and guys there is already a male counterpart for this device in the works that should really take off in the u.s.
11:36 pm
it combines our two national pastimes making money and being afraid of terrorist attacks. now today house republicans revealed their highly anticipated pledge to america the twenty one page document that's meant to be a blue court blueprint or a platform for the midterm elections and the two thousand and ten version of newt gingrich's ninety four contract with america they call this a new governing agenda built on the priorities of our nation the principles that we stand for and america's founding values why a governing agenda built on all those things is a new thing well that beats me but i guess maybe we should ask all the lawmakers republicans that have been ignoring those priorities principles and founding values for so long according to them america is more than a country it's an idea they have five plans full of ideas they'll make the idea of america supposedly better and i'm not going to waste their time going every over every single detail but here are the basics the plan is to make bush tax cuts
11:37 pm
permanent to cut government spending what the exceptions of medicare medicaid social security spending on troops and veterans to repeal health care and then put into place the exact same policies that are already in legislation they want to repeal and then to keep spending on defense all the way now i can't seem to find anything worthwhile in this waste of paper but perhaps my guest can change my mind joining me to discuss it is j.p. for air associate editor of commentary for the washington examiner j.p. thanks so much for being here thanks for having me i mean first things first this is a pledge to america it's not a contract it's not even a promise no one has to sign anything i just think that's kind of a cop out i mean how lame is that it's like we have these ideas that we might subscribe to go along with but don't have any expectations for is this is just in case well you know i guess it's sort of like a piece where with america but on the other hand it is not exactly it wouldn't matter whether or not they called it a contract if they called it
11:38 pm
a promise because politicians lie and well you know when they actually release the contract for american people without to vote they don't even. what the contract for america was i guess the right will matter or something because some people knew what it was and it didn't matter too well when they were looking for the majority did go on but it but it mattered in so far as it was something that you could hold your politicians accountable to sort of like a checklist of all the things that they were only going to do it if it's just a pledge not a promise and not a contract well i mean people take that for example the tax pledge with the americans for tax reform all the time and they pledge that they are not going to vote for anything that raises taxes and they wind up losing a great deal of votes as a consequence of violating that pledge so pledge matters it does it does have an impact we've seen ok. but the other important thing is that this does give us a checklist of the things that they do and do not accomplish now i'm not i'm not optimistic i don't think it's going to be able to accomplish anywhere near the number of things that they claim that they're going to be able to do and the reason that they're putting this list out in the first place is because they're trying to write a way that they themselves did not create they are responding to the tea parties
11:39 pm
they didn't initiate this change they've been they're caught in this in this storm that the tea party activists have to have a lot of this storm that they think is working in their favor but that's the funny part is because you released this pledge which really is so kind of middle of the road there's nothing exciting there's nothing new there's nothing extreme about it which is what the tea partiers wants i don't think riding this well wave is going to work if you're not going to give the people what they're actually asking for and that's what's funny to me is that they're claiming here that you know this is about what the population wants and so when the populace you know they want a government that represents them and they don't have that right now and we're going to offer that but they're not offering what people want right now people want something different they want change they want the people that are already in office to get the hell out well they certainly do want that and that's why people who are sort of establishment figures in the g.o.p. haven't been doing very well in their primaries but to get back to things that people want and the radical nature of this program there is there are certain radical things they're capping spending which frankly nobody has been able to do ever i'd be able to see that it's government there capping spending on everything
11:40 pm
like i said except for medicare medicaid social security. veterans troops and of course the huge elephant in the room defense so you can say your capping spending but then with all those exceptions what's left with but discussing medicaid medicare and social security they are looking to make it more accountable that is bringing more transparency which has been a big problem we don't want to be i don't want us rama's to make things more accountable more transparent he has and i mean you have and he has he got almost any details as to how they're going to do that well there are a few details there are there is actual attendant legislation that's coming along with some of these items i mean. for instance i believe it's the seventy two hours legislation needs to be posted online you know for all of our promises obamacare i'm like that for days right ahead of time to when that didn't happen and if that's not a contract that they didn't sign i just don't believe it's going to happen but i mean obama made a campaign promise and he didn't wind up doing it anyway so what i'm saying is politicians will know what all is or what to do with you know this any different
11:41 pm
but let me tell you what my main problem with this is because you know right now what they're harping on is cutting spending is reducing the deficit and yet a lot of the measures that they want to bring in here for example you know making a tax breaks permanent are only going to add seven hundred billion dollars over the next year to the deficit over the next decade they're going to add four trillion dollars to the deficit so how is it helping you how do you say you want to do one thing and then completely you know do the opposite ok all the studies that i've seen have basically said that tax increases alone cannot cannot possibly deal with this deficit because it's rolling off parts not be entitlement problem or is it a problem it's not a nice little chunk right so so what's what's important here is that we aren't addressing actual government spending we haven't been democrats haven't gone anywhere near it and republicans too and actually one of the nice features of this plan is that the republicans aren't pretending like all this started with democrats they say that this is been the problem for the last ten years and that goes through republican and that they should really push absolutely so it finally addresses
11:42 pm
government spending which is the thing that's killing our deficit that's killing our national debt and that is what needs to be addressed so. why that and why then is defense completely on the table you can't touch it at all we still have to absolutely have to you know against iran all of missile defense is still on the table you can't touch defense because because national defense isn't the only thing that's killing our budget there are so many other areas you're right but it's a big part of it they didn't even mention but already had a stand this is almost a decade old wrong war that we've been it well i think that i think that an important point is that only the federal government can do on national defense in a way that it is that state governments can take up a lot of the things that the federal government is doing so if the federal government the federal government's makes cuts in certain areas they need to be areas where states can pick up the slack or where states can also you know pass about just say look local municipalities can be also now much of what i'm seeing here i mean i just love that politicians get to pick and choose when they want to when they want to spend and everybody you don't even want to play you know i'm
11:43 pm
going to throw it in the garbage thank you so much if you for being here thank you all right still ahead on tonight's show there's a battle over blue sesame street parents and uproar i'll explain in just a moment and maybe the american dream just in america anymore are to correspond to the reports on a comeback. are . stopped going. will sell lots of beer will. they will wear uniforms that will damage is in the black and them anything but very little damming the white. and they are the key
11:44 pm
to our problems are all right. nineteen thirty eight france trying to reason with hitler germany. gets its way. to safety net for themselves. nine hundred thirty nine the whole of europe is in. efforts to establish a system of collective security nine hundred thirty eight failed and it's still on the agenda. the lessons to be learned from the munich agreement.
11:45 pm
this industry still keeps it secret now it's time to reveal. the soviet house on the embankment. today we present she was a new chapter of islamophobia but this time it has to do with actual textbooks the texas board of education you know the same board that voted to change history books take out thomas jefferson thurgood marshall cesar chavez and insert more god well that same board is now complaining that textbooks have a pro is a lawmaker bias and they're not going to stand for it anymore now the board argues that for years textbooks have neglected to elaborate on the importance of christianity that they've only portrayed islam in
11:46 pm
a positive peaceful light they think that these books should be modified to include the radical islam of al-qaeda and the taliban and to talk about events like september eleventh now members of the board of written a resolution asking for the textbooks to be rewritten to treat all groups get this more equally now another factor that comes into play of course is money see for years middle eastern companies have been investing in american publishing houses until one of those major publishers kicked them out sounds like something isn't quite right there huh american publishers take out middle eastern investors and then lawmakers try to rewrite textbooks to be. tolerant of islam that's just embarrassing now the purpose of textbooks is to teach people about different aspects of the world and an unbiased and intelligent manner not to scare all the little children the read them into thinking that anyone out there who is a muslim is out to get them so shame on you texas board of education again
11:47 pm
now apparently american children can very easily be traumatized by the sight of breasts and no i'm not making that up some parents in this country are up in arms over a sesame street video showing katy perry and elmo the two are playing while perry sings her song hot and cold take a look. that you can see anything wrong about video i mean children parents of the children excuse me were apparently not happy because katy perry was showing too much cleavage and i really don't see a problem with her dress kate is a cute girl she's a rock star she's having a little fun but when the video was posted on sesame street's you tube channel the parents were none too happy and as a story picked up steam all day blogs posted various complaints i have
11:48 pm
a couple of my favorite from the you tube site first there is more jiggle going on in that three minute clip than an entire season of baywatch star you can practically see her tits that's a wonderful children's programming and my personal favorite my kid wants milk now now since all the outrage began sesame street took the you tube video down and says it will no longer aired on t.v. which i think is just sad are we a nation full of prudes is seeing some cleavage really going to harm children forever you can see more cleavage watching most cable news channels primetime t.v. and fact i'm sure your kids barbie dolls and their favorite disney princesses show more than that so lighten up america thank you. now during his address to the un general assembly today president obama spoke about the right of everyone to make a decent wage and the right to pursue their dreams with unemployment here in the u.s. hovering around ten percent more and more americans are leaving this country in search
11:49 pm
of a new dream halfway around the world archies preassure their travel to india where many americans are finding a land full of opportunities. it's thursday morning in bangalore india. in the morning bustle is just beginning. but beyond the bustle on the other side of bangalore a different kind of morning is underway a quiet morning at the center of what's being called india's i t boom there's definitely a sense of excitement here things are looking up for india even throughout this recession things have remained positive here and you can really say the same thing about the states for collin murphy that excitement drew him here to the campus of one of india's biggest i.t. companies infosys the forty three acre self-contained community boast twenty first century architecture gourmet dining and environmentally friendly transportation for the outsourcing giants employees separated from the pollution and chaos of bangalore life there's always this provides a look at
11:50 pm
a new emerging india that is attracting the best and brightest from india and now from the u.s. to we have students from stanford students from harvard students from mit they get to understand what is infosys what's the i.t. industry because most of the internships are based in india what is india and part of that is just about breaking meds and misconceptions it's an ironic twist after decades of what was called the indian brain drain a new era has begun one in which thousands of americans are packing up their things and finding better jobs in this land of new opportunity for future leaders i think it's something that's quite interesting or attractive for for these individuals so getting a better understanding of how. things function here and how collaboration will take place in the future infosys is one of a handful of indian companies that is actively courting america's top talent every year the company brings more than one hundred elite american students to its campus
11:51 pm
for a ten week training program to learn about india and its prospects. economic opportunities from all over the globe. that we leave. here and. india and those opportunities aren't limited to infosys valerie risen skee came to work in an indian startup after spending three years in silicon valley india has been increasingly interesting market and as it becomes easier and easier to be here with better infrastructure and things like that. more and more people are bound to come most americans who come to bangalore for work don't live on the modern manicured campus at infosys and when you moved halfway across the planet to india you also have to deal with the problems here like traffic congestion power outage in mind soon but despite that experts predict that by twenty fifteen american companies will move three point five million jobs abroad and many of those jobs
11:52 pm
will come right here to india and americans like reason ski who make the leap to india also have to adjust to everyday life in a country of one billion one thing you absolutely have to have if you move to india has a lot of patience and a lot of tolerance for things to go wrong things to be dirty things to just happen not your way it's a reality that these americans must accept if they hope to succeed in this globalized world globalization is all about people from different nationalities coming together in pursuit of a common goal but this is all about. the power or globalized if it's all about. the fall of the new economic. order a new economic order that might just turn the world upside down preassure either r t bangalore india. well prius here in the studio with me to give us more on this
11:53 pm
story pretty good you showed americans moving to india how do people in india feel about all these americans moving in yeah that's an excellent question and i was kind of wondering that myself because i wasn't sure if you know a lot of them would feel that these companies like infosys kind of to indians to be giving jobs to indians and if they would see kind of these americans coming over to india feeling what they would feel is their jobs kind of the same way that a lot of americans feel about immigrants coming into this country but actually they said you know they feel really proud of the fact that kind of companies like infosys have really put india on the world map and that so many people from these countries like the united states or all over europe are coming to india for jobs you know they said that it's a sense of national pride for them so what is it worth it for the company i mean is it much more expensive to bring let's say an american worker over night i mean it's interesting because i asked that question to morphy who is the co-founder of
11:54 pm
infosys and actually he's considered the bill gates of india so he's kind of a big deal there you know but he told me that you know i asked him should americans feel horrible about this that all of their top talent are leaving the united states and coming over to india but he said you know what this is a globalized world we do a lot of our work over in the united states two thirds two thirds of our revenue is generated in the united states so really it's a win win situation for everyone and yet they pay for the plane tickets for these people they put them up in housing they even pay for them to go out on city excursions and things like that so it's kind of a good experience and they want to expose americans to india what is india about so that hopefully even if they do go back to the united states they'll consider doing more business or possibly creating come. bunnies that have more dialogue in relationships with countries in the east and is that working to you in the sense that americans are coming over and and they like what they see and they want to stay in increasing numbers and i mean what else do they get out of this experience
11:55 pm
other than let's say a job yeah i mean it was interesting to me because there was a mixed bag there there was some people who thought yeah you know i could live in india for the rest of my life which to me seemed honest honestly crazy and i've been to india since i was a little kid but a lot of people kind of wanted to go over there to get experience to have that line on their resume you know china and india are the two kind of emerging powers that we keep talking about and so for a lot of these people it didn't matter if they went to stanford business school or yale university undergrad they wanted to have that line of we did you know work in china and india so that when they came back to the united states it would make them more attractive to companies over here who were considering possibly extending their reach over in india but you know there's also a lot of cultural kind of learning that you can do over in india to the east is a very different place than the west there's a lot more emphasis on family there's a rich history culture there so a lot of these people said you know it really opened their eyes and that oftentimes people think of americans as very sheltered insular community and they really got
11:56 pm
an opportunity to kind of be out of their comfort zone and be in the minority and see how other people really live interesting is where americans are heading over very quickly like twenty seconds you have another story tomorrow from india your trip there what's going to be about the american brain during part two basically a lot of immigrants who you know you still live and work here in the united states are also choosing to head back to india for a better life so you can catch that story tomorrow thanks so much. fire before we go it is time for our tweets of the day now for several hours today facebook was down and the popular social networking site has thousands of facebook attics so we were wondering what's the most popular tweet about facebook today well facebook downtime has resulted in the loss of millions of animals on farmville so one source said that the farmers might never ever recover that's tonight's tweet of the day before we go facebook is this a big thing in india to you did you incorporate oh yeah i'm sorry everyone's on facebook it wasn't my story but i've been keeping in touch with
